I don't remember seeing anyone state that Windows 8 is perfect. Most people realise that pretty much all software has bugs.

With all due respect Calum, you did see the /s on the end of that sentence right? It's not me you should be convincing that software has bugs....I'm well aware of them. It's the pro-Windows 8 folk who seems to be wearing blinders

It seemed to me as if that sarcasm was trying to suggest that some people think Windows 8 has no bugs, considering the topic of this thread I could be wrong, though, so sorry if I am.

That's exactly what that sarcasm was suggesting. Hence my mockery of it. A quick visit through the zillion other Windows 8 related threads should yield you more than enough proof that there are some who feel there's little to nothing wrong with the the OS. But I digress...

It might not be the intended design, but this does seem to be the culprit. Frankly though, we don't know whether this is intended behaviour or whether it is a defect that will be fixed before GA (appreciated, you might know the answer to that). As it stands, displaying '2' on the store icon when no updates are available is exacerbating an OCD I didn't know I had ;-)

I have this problem too!
I found a fix for that. It seems that suddenly, the Store app remembers some inexistent updates (?).
To fix that, you have to go to the %temp% folder (WIN KEY + R, enter %temp%) and you'll find a file called winstore.log.
You have to delete this file, but you have to close 2 process first: Runtime Broker and Com Surrogate.
Runtime Broker it's easy to close, but Com Surrogate restarts automatically, so you have to close again, and delete winstore.log inmediatly.
Once you have deleted it, restart your PC. When it restarts, maybe you will se the "2" number (in the Store tile)... Open it, and you'll see the "2 Updates available" is gone.
Fixed!
